Conservative Chickens Come Home To Roost

I read this twice trying to find a teaser to copy/paste. It's so on the money I'd have to paste the whole thing.

I am saddened by the way that Ann Coulter has to find an unkind word about someone.

The good news is that her looks will fade and she will never procreate.

Humanity can wait her out.

Matt Taibbi is a skilled writer. Here's a particularly nice line from that article:
Quote:
...These people have run out of others to blame, run out of bystanders to suspect, run out of decent family people to dismiss as Godless, sex-crazed perverts...
Aside from being a nicely constructed sentence, it has the virtue of being true. In just about any other national campaign, Taibbi's words would be nothing but hyperbole, but this GOP primary season really is kind of insane.

Great mirror to hold in front of them.

Humanity can wait out the prehistoric mindset that generated such a sentiment.

It was but Coulter is a special sort of inspiration. The woman is way beyond the pale. She has essentially wasted her life. All fault resides in her enemies. She and her kin have the full truth, the necessary formula.

It's a shame that the conservative side is in such shambles, because there is merit to conservatism. Too much welfare or big govt. is not a good thing, and we've gone over to that in some spots in a big way.

Lovely article. Yet no different on the other side of the bargain.

My favorite line:

These candidates are behaving like Stalinist officials in the late thirties, each one afraid to be the first to stop applauding.

It applies not only to the GOP comedians who are currently participating in the spectacle.

i believe that psychologists call this "projection". or, as Jung says - and, yes, he would know, having collaborated with Nazis - "to look at one's own evil is shattering". or, as the hermit says in blood meridian, "don't wanna look in there [your heart]"

(my apologies for the crude paraphrasing of the quotations.)

anyhow, none of these republican guys have a chance against - as i like to call him - the ultimate authoritarian/republican/statist/sellout, Mr. Obama.
